The Division of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine is recruiting a Division Director. The ideal candidate for this position is a physician-scientist with a strong record of research accomplishments in patient-oriented, translational, or basic science research. The Division Director also should have excellent mentoring, clinical, and teaching skills as well as administrative experience sufficient to lead the division. The Division Director will be supported by generous development funds and will be offered an endowed chair.

The Division of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology at the University of Pittsburgh encompasses the largest, most comprehensive childhood cancer and blood disease center in the Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio, and Northern West Virginia regions. The Division currently includes 21 faculty members and 10 Advanced-Practice Providers, who provide compassionate, state-of-the-art care for children with cancer and hematologic disorders. Members of the Division have extensive research interests spanning basic research to understand cancer mechanisms, high-impact translational research, and NIH-funded clinical trials. The Division also is home to an outstanding fellowship program to train future leaders in pediatric hematology and oncology.

The Department of Pediatrics at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine is comprised of 20 divisions, six centers, and two institutes, with over 350 faculty members. The Department receives around $60 million in annual research support from the NIH and other federal and non-federal funding agencies.

UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, included in the Top 10 Honor Roll on U.S. News & World Report's 2023-2024 list of "America's Best Children's Hospitals," is a 317-bed, free-standing children's hospital located in the thriving Lawrenceville neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. UPMC Children's Hospital cares for over 80% of all hospitalized children (and over 90% of all hospitalized children under the age of 12) in our region, a large catchment area that includes Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio, Northern West Virginia, and Southwestern New York. Overlooking the Allegheny River and much of the Pittsburgh metropolitan area, the hospital is minutes away from the downtown cultural district, home stadiums for three major league sports teams, an internationally recognized culinary scene, and renowned centers of higher learning at the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie-Mellon University.

We seek candidates who embrace and reflect diversity and belonging. The University of Pittsburgh and UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh are equal opportunity employers. Interested individuals should forward a letter of intent and curriculum vitae. Informal inquiries also are encouraged. We seek applicants as well as nominees.
